There are some basic concepts that should be followed to build strength. Depending on the individual’s fitness goals, he or she may want to do specific things. Bodybuilders focus on muscle size and symmetry. Endurance athletes desire to develop muscular endurance and stamina. Explosiveness is the objective for power athletes. Powerlifters attempt to lift the maximal weight possible. Each has specific goals which will be developed in very different training routines. Those who desire to develop a sound general fitness base should focus on the health-related fitness components of muscular endurance and muscular strength.

MILITARY CROSS-TRAINING: Calisthenics Plus a Conditioning Hike


This workout was modeled after physical training sessions common in the armed forces special operations community. Cardiovascular and muscular endurance are perquisites for these service members being that everything they carry on a mission, they carry on their backs. Marine infantry units complete twenty-five mile marches in under eight hours wearing forty pound packs and carrying their weapons.
This Flab-to-Fit workout will be somewhat less intense but will still develop core and leg strength as well as stamina using a combination of calisthenics and a conditioning hike.

Goals of Strength Training

The type of training that is performed should be reflective of the goals and needs of each individual. Depending on one’s goals, specific training programs can target the desired results.


In general, strength-training programs can be created to enhance the following general goals;
Muscle size: A principal goal of bodybuilders. While muscle size may be aesthetically pleasing, it does not necessarily help to enhance an individual’s performance.
Muscular endurance: The ability to execute movements repeatedly. A health-related benefit of fitness and the goal of athletes who participate in endurance sports.
Muscular strength: The ability to produce force. Another health-related benefit of fitness, strength improvement assists in making physical activities, particularly the movement of heavy objects, easier.
Power: The ability to quickly produce maximal force. A performance-related benefit of fitness and the goal of athletes who partake in sports involving explosive movements.
For the most part, the differences between the training programs designed to emphasize one of these goals involves manipulating the number of sets, repetitions, and rest intervals.

The training goes from general physical preparation and rest in the off-season to primarily high-intensity sport specific skills training and conditioning maintenance in the late season. Minimal sport-specific training occurs in the off-season while late season training includes minimal supplemental training.

A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TO GETTING FIT & LEAN

Across the world, service members maintain their physical readiness and low body fat percentages through sound health and fitness habits which are in accordance with the latest accepted medical- and scientific-approved practices. The Flab-to-Fit program is designed using the techniques that have made the U.S. Armed Forces one of the fittest populations, male and female, on this planet.


Using a variety of physical fitness activities, this program is designed to progressively physically condition individuals with a starting performance level of those living a sedentary lifestyle and an end state of a significantly improved level of fitness in conjunction with the accomplishment of optimal body composition.
This program is 12 months in duration. The program’s intensity will progressively get harder, starting at approximately 10% intensity of the ending efforts. There will be a relative balance between physical fitness components to make it well-rounded as well as adding variety to reduce boredom. Being persistent and following the program regularly (daily) is the key to being successful. This includes resting and recovering when noted.

HEALTHY NUTRITION & BODY COMPOSITION

Body composition is the proportion of fat and fat-free (bone, muscle, tissue, water) mass in the body. It is common for people to gain weight and increase body fat as a result of a lack of exercise and poor nutritional habits.



Proper nutrition is a basic fundamental for maintaining a fit and healthy body. Its a garbage-in, garbage out deal. Eat incorrectly, and your body will perform in a less-than-optimal manner. Eat correctly and your body will respond positively.

WONDERING IF STRENGTH TRAINING IS FOR YOU?


Here are a few good reasons to strength train:
  • Your muscles will get stronger and toned
  • You’ll develop stronger bones
  • You’ll reduce body fat while adding muscle
  • You’ll look better
  • You’ll feel better
  • You’ll increase your mobility
  • You’ll decrease your risk of injury

RESISTANCE TRAINING

The most effective way to increase strength is through the use of weight training. No comprehensive fitness program is complete without resistance  training.


CORE STRENGTH & STABILITY

Training the body's midsection is much more than working to get a six-pack stomach. Core training is critical for good performance. The core section connects the body's upper and lower limbs and acts as the body's power regulator. 


In throwing events such as the javelin, the efficient transfer of force determines the acceleration in which the javelin is thrown and subsequently the distance it is thrown.

Three separate core training cards will be used during this program to address core strength, core stability and core rotation.

YOU WON'T GET THE BUTT YOU WANT BY SITTING ON IT!


LEANNESS & SELF-ESTEEM

Leanness, physical fitness & self-esteem are often inter-related. Leanness is a relevant term and does not mean skinny!

For many, the most important result of physical fitness is how we feel about ourselves. Regardless of individual goals, being fit is a positive self-esteem builder.

Quality of Training or Training Quantity?

The quality of training is how well the exercises are performed and is influenced by the technique and loads that are used when performing the exercise.


Training quantity or volume is the total amount of weight lifted. Many individuals often sacrifice the quality of their training in an effort to increase quantity.
In strength training, you should strive to train intelligently. In general, it is recommended that you perform exercises with quality rather than focus on volume. More is less: more volume is often less effective.
Choosing a volume approach also increases the risk of over-training. Over-training combines doing too much without enough rest which results in decreases in performance while increasing the risk of illness and injury.

GOALS OF STRENGTH TRAINING

The type of training that is performed should be reflective of the goals and needs of each individual. Depending on one’s goals, specific training programs can target the desired results.
Powerlifters are not concerned with aesthetics. Their objective is to lift as much weight as humanly possible.
 In general, strength-training programs can be created to enhance the following general goals;
Muscle size - Muscular endurance - Muscular strength - Power

GET YOUR BODY READY TO WORK!

A good warm-up prepares your body for movement and conditioning activities. It will boost your performance by t gradually increasing heart rate and blood flow to muscles and elevating your core temperature.
In addition, warm-up activities increase flexibility by elongating muscles and removing stiffness from joints. The brain is also put on alert that some degree of motor coordination skills will be utilized in the near future. The desired end state is an injury-free, effective workout.
